Larry provides a voice for the voiceless and is a moral compass for what is or should be right for children in public education in the state of Alabama. I can always count on him to bring a passionate argument, with facts, to the table and at the end of the day work together to […]

Within our state’s current political environment dominated by smoke and mirrors of political rhetoric, Larry has single handedly served as a relentless advocate for what is best for school children and has shed light on deception.

Larry not only searches out information and facts about what schools have, need, and are up against, he visits schools to see what wonderful things are truly going on to educate the children of Alabama regardless the obstacles they face..

Larry is a passionate reporter of how things are. Sometimes he shows us the joys and successes of what takes place in classrooms and schools. Many times he points out the inconsistencies between what should be and what really is. But, beyond making us aware, he crusades for what is right.

With his passion for truth and for honesty, Larry has a journalist’s commitment to telling real stories with honesty, compassion and depth.

Larry is a voice for all that is good in Alabama’s public education. His “down home” insights and data informed examples paint clear portraits of courageous educational leaders and teachers, appreciative students and engaged communities.

Larry uses real people and real life experiences to get the truth across in a way that may tug on your heartstrings or may make you laugh but always makes you think and most importantly makes you ask, how can I help in this effort to better the opportunities for all.

Larry’s passion and concern for Alabama’s children is evident in every word he writes, as well as his actions. He has spent countless hours with educators in their classrooms and traveled thousands of miles (on his own dollar) to seek firsthand experiences with Alabama’s teachers so that his views are grounded in fact.

Larry is more than a friend to education. He is a fearless advocate convicted to promote a quality education for Alabama’s children, particularly those in our most rural and poverty-ridden communities. Unlike so many self-proclaimed education advocates, Larry Lee “gets” it.

Larry is a committed and persuasive voice for all public school students, but his passion is for fair and equitable treatment for the state’s many disadvantaged students. He is the leading advocate for better education for all Alabama public school students.

Larry is passionate about HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Pre-School Youngsters) and has traveled many miles to learn as much as he can about the program. His articles reflect his passion and his quest for the facts to enlighten all of us.

Larry realizes that every child can succeed, but not at the same pace and level. He has seen firsthand, and written so many true stories of what occurs daily in our schools and in the lives of our children.
